inland from Sousse, and iIt's large

mosques and cultural history have

seen it added to the list of UNESCO

World Heritage Sites.

It’s main sights are obviously The

Great Mosque, which is one of the

finest Islamic buildings in North Africa.

The Mosque of the Three Doors,

which has a one of the finest facades

in Tunisia.

Bi'r Barouta, which is a Well at the

place where the city was founded,

and is reputedly linked to the

ZamZam well in Mecca, and so is one

of the holiest sites in the city for

Muslims.

The Medina in general is also a nice

place to wander around, although it

may well look familiar as it was used

in Raiders of the Lost Ark to double

for Cairo.
